So, too, when man and woman come to the knowledge of another person; when they, as rational creatures, establish a unity in the flesh that before they never knew; they can go on enjoying that knowledge, but they never can reacquire it. So long as time endures, he gave to her the knowledge of man, and she gave to him the knowledge of woman. And they gave knowledge because they gave unity, not of object and mind, but of flesh and flesh. Others can repeat the knowledge, even unlawfully, but there was always someone who was the first to unfold the mystery of life.
